| VideoGameAccountant said: Let me clarify. We already have a Mario Kart title on Switch, so another Mario Kart isn't going to move the needle. F-Zero offers something the Switch does have and can offer a difference experience. It can also be used in conjunction with their online. Not even saying they can't have both. They could easily outsource it to another studio which is what they did with F-Zero GX. Then you'd have your cake and eat it too. Comparing to Mario Kart was probably a bad idea. Nonetheless, it's silly they haven't had another one. |
I don't know what you mean by move the needle, but what F-Zero offers just doesn't have a lot of fans. Fast RMX and probably others such games are on Switch so it wouldn't be super unique. I recall the Mario Kart team saying they had interest in making F-Zero, so if it were to be made in house it'd be by them, but well, they're the Mario Kart team. Thanks to MK8 port they were given a chance to make something else for once, but it was ARMS. That they haven't even outsourced F-Zero should be really telling how important Nintendo believes it is. I do agree they should give it another go like they are with Metroid.
| NextGen_Gamer said: YES! This is also my guess. Mario Kart would be too soon, plus he already said it was from a franchise "you probably don't expect." He knew by saying tires everyone would think MK, but of course tires are a huge staple of the Donkey Kong franchise as well. My only other guesses would be Excitebike (that would be awesome) or Pikmin 3. Pikmin because remember you are very small, and I could see him mentioning tires specifically if say your home base in the game turns out be a tractor tire or something lol |
Or perhaps he knew there are many people like yourself who believe it's too soon for another Mario Kart and that there can only be 1 per system. That's giving him too much credit though. "You probably don't expect" is pretentious, vague, and meaningless much like this rumor in general.
My question for you, do you think it's the Mario Kart team making Donkey Kong Country? We know it's not Retro, and the Mario Kart team had 2 years of dev time since they stopped updating ARMS so we're likely to see what they've been working on soon. Be weird to see an IP suddenly shift studios but not impossible.
